Incomplete record. This archive holds 7 of the 20 games played; 13 are missing. Seven scores survive from twenty played games; thirteen scores are unavailable. One retained continuation begins from its recorded middlegame position.

Hungary defeated Romania 12½–7½ in their European team championship qualifying match. Seven of the twenty games are available, including one score that begins from a recorded middlegame position.

◇Two encounters in Bucharest

The match opened on 10 April at the Institute of Petroleum, Gas and Geology. Seven first-round games finished that day and three were adjourned. Their completion on 11 April left Hungary ahead 5½–4½.

Hungary won the return 7–3. Ferenc Jeney replaced József Pogáts on the tenth board, while László Szabó and Károly Honfi each won both games.

◇The surviving scores

All twenty games were contested, with no defaults. Thirteen scores remain unavailable in the approved archive, so the available games do not form a complete match record.

The Günsberger–Honfi return begins with Black’s 33rd move. Its recorded position and continuation are preserved; the missing opening has not been reconstructed. Event rounds follow the two dated encounters while the original game headers remain intact.
